Abstract
Provided are a cage assembly and a receptacle assembly that can efficiently cool a heat sink. An embodiment includes: a cage 100 configured to house an optical module 310; and a heat sink 50 configured to thermally contact with the optical module 310, the cage 100 has a port wall 110 defining a port Sp in which the optical module 310 is housed, a first adjacent wall 120 defining a first adjacent space S1 that is adjacent to the port Sp in the second direction, and a second adjacent wall 130 defining a second adjacent space S2 that is adjacent to the port Sp in the third direction and in which the optical module 310 is not housed, and the heat sink 50 is housed in the first adjacent space S1.
Claims25
A cage assembly configured to be attached to a first face of an external circuit board and house an external module, the external module being inserted in the cage assembly along a first direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first face, the cage assembly comprising:
- when a direction orthogonal to the first direction is defined as a second direction, and a direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction is defined as a third direction,
- a cage configured to house the external module;
- and
- a heat sink configured to thermally contact with the external module,
- wherein the cage includes
- a port wall defining a port in which the external module is housed,
- a first adjacent wall defining a first adjacent space that is adjacent to the port in the second direction, and
- a second adjacent wall defining a second adjacent space that is adjacent to the port in the third direction and in which the external module is not housed, and
- wherein the heat sink is housed in the first adjacent space.
